warning about user name "ddcapslock": I just caught him using my answer on another question, so I wouldn't be too sure if the answer he gave you was his own original thought. see link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Reply:I have a couple of suggestions for people picking out names.





1) Don't try so hard to make it unique, that people will laugh or sneer at the name everywhere they go. Stick to common names. I go by Brant because it is a diminutive of my middle name. (I'm the third.) You'd be amazed how many people can't pronounce or spell it because it is unfamiliar to them.





2) Make it easy to spell and pronounce. Don't make up your own spelling or pronunciation. I've seen so much of that lately, and it is condemning your kid to a lifetime of hassles because of it.





3) Make it short. Don't forget, the kid will have to write it thousands of times on paper. Longer names get cut off on forms, too.





4) Avoid a name which can easily be made into an insulting joke name. That would be the only objection I would have to Leah. (Pee-ya)





I like the name Leah. Some people will mispronounce it but most will get it right. I knew it was "lee-ah." It's a beautiful name and traditional, too. It's just been out of vogue for a couple of generations.





For a boy, Nathan is safe. It's a very popular name now. I don't know if you consider that a good thing or bad.





Edit, after all that, I guess I didn't read your question carefully. You just wanted feedback on the names you have already given. My opinion: they're all okay. You avoided most of the pitfalls.

Bridget


Roy


Jane





the rest are a tad trendy for my taste
Reply:I like them even though I wouldn't names my kid any of those names they are you children and you should name them whatever you want.
Reply:Jeeeezzz what is with people these days having so many kids?? Bless you for being able to handle it, but seriously!





Anyway...


I really like Emmaline Claire. It's adorable.


Is Leah pronounced 'Lee-a' or just 'Lee'? If the first one, I really like her name, as well.


Madalyn I don't usually like, but it was saved with such a cute middle name, Jane.





I don't really like either boy names, but that's just my personal preference.
